Tauri Raju Vahesaar

PASSION.COACH

I'm an Estonian aerial, fire and slackline artist, as well as a choreographer for large-scale productions. I'm the 2015 Slackline World Champion, a Red Bull Slackship Master and a two-time world record holder. My work has taken me around the world, from performing at major international events, including Germany's Got Talent, to working in Hollywood. I was Michael Fassbender's stunt double in Assassin's Creed and also worked on Wonder Woman. But my greatest achievement goes far beyond the stage. I've broken my back twice. After the second injury, a neurosurgeon told me I would never perform again. But I chose to trust my inner guidance, declined surgery and followed my own path to recovery. Along the way, I found my wife, and eventually returned stronger than ever, setting my second world record after the injury. My performances are more than a series of spectacular stunts. They tell a story about facing fear, trusting life and staying present at the edge of the unknown. Through fire, height and the art of hair hanging, I explore what becomes possible when we dare to believe in ourselves and go beyond what we think are our limits. Together with my beloved wife and holy love, Merit Raju, I'll bring an intimate indoor artistic performance that combines breathtaking acts with live storytelling — a journey of courage, love, trust and the extraordinary power of the human spirit.
